ER is a strong predictor for LR. Our study advocates a shortening of the post-PVI blanking period followed by a "gray zone" up to 3 months where individualized therapeutic decisions based on additional risk factors should be considered. We suggest that the ER time span might serve as such a predictor identifying patients at the highest risk for LR.
